Yes, I’m still here. I spent the last few weeks wandering around Ontario, often staying in places with little to no internet connectivity, so even had I been inclined to write in this space I was more or less unable to.
Not a whole lot to report about the vacation: it was good, I enjoyed it, I got to see a great many people I care deeply about for greater or lesser expanses of time. Christmas was fairly placid, New Year’s a lot of fun. Most of the requisite driving around was without incident, which can only be good.
And now I’m back in the Midwest, where I discover that winter’s pretty much gone. How very strange.
